Tacoma and Puyallup Tribe Sign ED Agreement

Here is a good example of collaborative economic development.

The Port of Tacoma Commission and the Puyallup Tribe Council signed a major economic development agreement on Monday, February 9, setting the stage for additional Port maritime expansion, cooperative marketing of Port and Tribal lands in the Tacoma Tideflats, and increased economic diversity for the Tribe.

The agreement comes at a pivotal time for both the Port and the Tribe, each of which are currently working on two separate major economic development initiatives:

-- The Port is building a new container terminal for Evergreen Line, and

-- The Tribe is developing the Cascades Casino, a major new casino facility.
